GENEROUS STRANGERS - CHRISTMAS PROJECT
Are you a Generous Stranger? In 2008 The Giving Movement provided toys to all the children in McKinney ISD Head Start Program and fed over 2,000 people in the month of December thanks to the donations of Generous Strangers. After viewing a segment on the
news about a home that was burglarized during the Christmas holidays, Cheryl
Jackson, The Giving Movement's founder, took immediate action. She contacted companies and
individuals to raise enough money to replace all of the stolen toys and provide
food for the family on Christmas day. The media headlines said Generous
Stranger Saves Christmas and this has become an annual event for TGM.
The Giving
Movement Organization partners with companies local school districts and the
community to gather and distribute toys to needy children in the area. TGM also
partners with other non-profits to identify families that will need assistance
during the Christmas holidays.
THANKSGIVING MEAL GIVEAWAY
The Giving Movement's annual Thanksgiving dinner giveaway is a great way to show how thankful you are. In our first year we fed 250 families complete turkey dinners with all the fixins. We partnered with local schools and churches to identify families in need and over 40 volunteers came together to distribute the measl to the family when they came to Minnie's Food Pantry. Volunteers are needed every year to donate their money and time to help us. Our base of recipients are from the Collin county schools and other local nonprofit organization. In the past we have been able to feed every person who was recommended to us and with your support we hope to continue our efforts.
BACK TO SCHOOL FREE SUPPLIES GIVEAWAY
The back to school program challenges the entire community. The Giving Movement needs families and friends to get their church and company involved to fill their vehicles with school supplies and backpacks. The school supplies are then distributed to schools throughout the community and warehoused to assist teachers in low income areas when they need supplies during the school year.
BE THE CHANGE - DONATE YOUR COINS TO THE MOVEMENT
The Giving Movement educates our children on the value of coins. It’s easy to partner with us on this challenge. The Giving Movement uses your spare change to fund our projects. We will purchase books, food, clothing and shoes for people in need. Another idea is to place a loose change bin at your companys cafeteria or break room. As employees eat lunch ask them to put their loose change in the jar and donate thechange to Minnie's Food Pantry. Join the movement. Change a life. Donate your loose coins to The Giving Movement and help us show the kids how to be a life changer. |
